SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 721,662, dated February 17, 1903.

"Application filed August 7, 1902.

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES T. MITCHELL, a citizen of the United'States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Window-Shade and Curtain, &c., PoleBracket; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear,;and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to a new and improved bracket for the twofold purpose of supporting or retaining in position in a window-casing the ordinary shade and a lace-curtain or lambrequin pole. It is chiefly characteristic for great simplicity and consequent cheapness of manufacture for carrying out the above-named purposes. It can be applied with the least expenditure of time and trouble and without. any special adaptation for its application or adoption.

In the accompanying, drawings, Figure 1 illustrates the invention as applied for use. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section showing one of the brackets, and Fig. 3 is a detached perspective view.

In the embodiment of my invention I construct a bracket 1,'two such being required to utilize the same for the purposes herein named. Said bracket, preferably a casting of brass, comprises. a substantially straight member 1 having integral withits upper edge near the inner end an upward extension 1", produced with a gain or slot 1, the com-- panion bracket, however, having an orifice or recess, as well understood, to provide for the reception of the usual gudgeon applied to the ends of the ordinary window-shade roll for supporting the lastg-namedin place by means of said brackets. Extending laterally from and integral with said extension 1 is a short, preferably cylindric, stud 1, in turn formed integrally with a plate 1, arranged parallel with the member 1 and having suitably-disposed openings or apertures 1 therethrough for receiving fastenings, as screws,

&'c., for securing the brackets to the Windowcasing upon its opposite-facing surfaces. This construction, it will be observed, permits the arrangement'or disposition of the window-shade roll Within the plane of the preferably, an upwardly-opening loop or eye 2', constituting, with a companion bracket the counterpart of the above described, a support for the pole of a lace curtain or lambre- 7o quin, as will be readily appreciated. This construction provides for supporting the pole within limits corresponding to the width of the window-casing opening and yet beyond the windowcasing out of alinement with the shade-roll. It is also obvious that my invention can be made and applied at the minimum or least expense.

Having'thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is-

1. A Window-shade bracket, embracing an arm member having, near one e'nd,a lateral fastening-plate and an upstanding trunnionreceiving' extension arranged parallel with said fastening-plate and in the plane of said arm member, and a pole-receiving upstanding loop at the opposite end of said arm member.

2. A window-shade bracket, embracing an arm member having, near one end, a lateral fastening-plate offset or distant therefrom, also having, near said end, a trunnion-receiving upstanding extension arranged parallel with said fastening-plate and inthe plane of said arm member, and a pole-receiving upstanding loop arranged at the opposite end of said arm member.

3. A Window-shade bracket, embracing an arm member having, near one end, a lateral too In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
